Musiala's absence is noticeable in Bayern's crucial match, Nagelsmann also responds
Bayern Munich and the German national football team face a setback: The Champions League title holders will be missing Jamal Musiala in the crucial Bundesliga clash against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday (5:30 PM/DAZN and live ticker at ntv.de), and national team coach Julian Nagelsmann will miss him in the upcoming Nations League games. Musiala is ruled out due to hip joint discomfort, as announced by the Bavarian club.
The German Football Association (DFB) confirmed that Musiala would not be joining the national team at their meeting point in Herzogenaurach as scheduled. Stuttgart newcomer Jamie Leweling has been selected as his replacement for the forthcoming matches against Bosnia on October 11 in Zenica and the classic encounter against the Netherlands on October 14 in Munich. Leweling, a 23-year-old with experience in German U19, U20, and U21 teams, has already represented Stuttgart in Nagelsmann's 23-player squad.
"He delivers impressive performances, poses a significant threat in front of the goal, and is a tough nut to crack with his speed and physicality," recently commented VfB coach Sebastian Hoeneß about the Nuremberg-born player with previous stints at Greuther Fürth and Union Berlin. Hoeneß continued, "And the cherry on top, he is also excellent defensively and willing to put in a shift. That makes him an invaluable asset to us."
FC Bayern Munich will need to find a way to overcome Jamal Musiala's absence in their crucial Bundesliga clash against Eintracht Frankfurt, as he is ruled out due to hip joint discomfort. Despite Musiala's absence, the German Football Association (DFB) has selected Stuttgart newcomer Jamie Leweling as his replacement for the upcoming Nations League games against Bosnia and the Netherlands.
